What do you think will come next?

Personally, I think Apple should make a headless G5 consumer mac sometime in the future. I know the Powermac comes as headless, but that's more Pro. I'd say, a single 1.8Ghz mac, 2GB ram maximum, Combo/Superdrive, 100GB max, above average graphics card. Y'know, just a basic consumer model, nothing intense. That's what I'd like. Oh, and of course, like the mac mini, as in it comes with no keyboard, etc, unless specified.

What about you?

Just guessing here ... perhaps we will see a G5 PowerBook next year, and then perhaps after some time (a year? half a year?) we will see a G5 mini ... provided all thermal issues have been resolved.

I think Apple's next big thing will be some sort of home entertainment hub thing. Sort of a Tivo, iPod, video/music console. It's been mentioned many times before, but I think that's next on the list.

What's so funny? "Asteroid" is Apple's codename for their FireWire-based audio breakout box.

Sorry, I thought you were saying Asteroid, as a way of saying that our ideas are as possible as Apple making an asteroid, if that makes sense?
